Astoria, Ore. – A portion of the Oregon Coast is open for razor clamming.

The Daily Astorian reported beaches from Tillamook Head to Cascade Head have been open to diggers for a week.

Digging had been closed along the entire Oregon Coast because high levels of a marine toxin were found in clam meat. But three rounds of testing have shown those levels dropping below the threshold established by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
